Single-gene trait/disorder: unknown

Cross-species summary: similar to Laron Syndrome in humans renamed from 'Dwarfism, Laron' [28/04/2023]

Species-specific description: Matsuya et al. (2023) "investigate[d] the growth hormone receptor (Ghr) gene sequence in M. minutoides. [The authors] identified several amino acid variations, including the P469L mutation. [The] findings suggest that this mutation affects Ghr protein functionality, decreasing Igf1 expression and contributing to the dwarfism observed in [the species] M. minutoides."
